What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A Ruby gem for Rails development that overlays the browser-rendered UI with the source files (views, partials, JS templates) that produced it. Pressing a hotkey reveals the overlay, and clicking a region opens the corresponding file in your editor.
Use cases
- find which Rails partial rendered a UI element
- open the template file behind a page region directly in my editor
- debug Rails view hierarchy in the browser
- visualize controllers and partials behind rendered HTML
- speed up Rails frontend development navigation
When to choose
- you develop Rails apps with server-rendered views and want editor-linked UI inspection
- you want to quickly trace rendered HTML back to view templates and partials
When to avoid
- your app is a JavaScript SPA without Rails server-rendered templates
- you need production tooling - this gem is development-only
- your project doesn't use Ruby on Rails or jQuery
